At the suggestion of Rocketeer Iโve started a separate thread about a possible Forum Meet at this yearโs Cockpitfest.
My original post suggested Saturday 13th June at 12 noon by Rocketeer’s Spitfire Mk.V cockpit. Since then itโs been pointed out that other forumites are also displaying cockpits at he event โ sorry for not thinking of you lot as well!
Perhaps other cockpiters could declare their participation and we could agree how to identify each other.
WDYT?
Fest details here.

Nice to put some faces to forum names and admire the expertise of many of the forum regulars. Thanks again to the organisers.
Cheers

Well I finally got back home. Many thanks to those that helped me extract the box from my hire trailer…… I had a cracking time, meet alot of likeminded people, bought some odds n sods, got a tan and will now probably wake up in the early hours going’ dah dit dah dah dah dit dit dit’. Next job is to find a different trailer n move the box to another place of more permanence and ease of movement;).
cheers all

I have my NAM aircraft guide badge emblazoned with my forum name, and exceeding 6′ I shouldn’t be too hard to miss!!:D.
I am part of ‘lakes Lightnings’ this year and will have my own little display project going so if you find us give me a shout, will be nice to meet you all.
Regards,
JB.
